Last fall Nomad introduced the world to its hybrid titanium Apple Watch band known as Stratos, and it’s seriously gorgeous. One of the more compelling, interesting-looking, and well-made titanium bands I have tested out and wear personally, it updated the lineup with an Icy Blue glow model back in January, and has now dropped a new Forest Green variant. 

Gaming’s “worst kept secret” will be officially revealed today when Ubisoft hits the button on today’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: Worldwide Reveal Showcase very soon. 

Star Wars Day is quickly approaching and in celebration of May the 4th this year, CASETiFY is launching an all-new collection of Mandalorian and Grogu tech accessories. 

Nintendo announced the release date for the new Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on Switch 2 last month. Just after that it revealed that digital copies of the game would be $10 less expensive – much like we just saw with the new Splatoon Raiders – and now it has dropped a new overview trailer with more details on Yoshi’s first solo outing on Switch 2. 

Ubisoft will officially reveal the new Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake today and the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Collector’s Edition has already leaked on Amazon France. 

Earlier this year at CES Pioneer unveiled its all-new SPHERA in-dash CarPlay receiver and multimedia system. Fast forward to spring 2026 and the new premium in-car entertainment and connectivity system is now available for purchase. 

Not all Switch 2 accessories are made equal, some of them look like an actual Piranha Plant that double as a TV docking station for your Switch 2, charges all sorts of joy-Con pairs at the same time, features glow night lighting, and posable arms. 

Just after the new and much more affordable Amazon Ember Artline frame TVs up for pre-order, today LG is officially announcing pricing on its brand new high-end wireless W6 Wallpaper OLED TV. 

This morning Nintendo officially revealed the summer release date for the single-player Splatoon Raiders Switch 2 game. Pre-orders are now live on the Nintendo Store, but, perhaps even better is the price – it looks like digital Switch 2 games will indeed be less expensive than physical boxed copies as we suspected. 

Just after the release of its new Space Black metal 25W Qi2 MagSafe charging stand, Satechi is expanding its 2026 desktop presence with the new ChargeView 140W Desktop Charger today. It is now available for purchase at Amazon and directly from Satechi. 

Nintendo has just confirmed the Splatoon Raiders release date. This is the next in the long line of Nintendo leaks and rumors to come true – it releases this summer.

Just as we expected and just as the leakers leaked, the official Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: Worldwide Reveal Showcase will wash ashore this week.

An Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake is inbound, and very soon. For me personally, it is the earlier AC games that deliver the nostalgia and fondest memories, but for many, Black Flag really hit the sweet spot and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is purportedly set for release this summer. 

Earlier this week, Xbox promised a dedicated first-look showcase for the new Metro 2039, and has followed through. Today’s broadcast is about to go live and it’s all waiting for you below. 

This year has been an eventful one for Pokémon Trainers already. The reveal of the mainline Gen 10 games, remakes, LEGO sets, and much more have already made headlines, but the 30th anniversary celebration isn’t over yet. Target just announced a giant new anniversary Pokémon collection loaded with toys, apparel, and more. 

Will Sony reveal a new, proper God of War game this year? It sure sounds like it will and some new leaks and rumors have surfaced suggesting the setting more details.

Burton Goods makes some of the nicest leather iPad cases you’ll find anywhere if you ask me. They aren’t cheap, but they are also far less pricey some of the equally as premium leather sheaths for Apple’s iPad Pro out there. Today, the brand has unleashed a new Limited Edition: Magnetic Leather Case for M4/M5 iPad Pro models and we have a nice 20% off using code BG20 at checkout too. 

Twelve South is launching the latest edition to its lineup of tech accessories today with the new CableStay. Following releases like the PowerBug and PowerCord, the CableStay takes a simple and yet practical approach to organizing your setup, offering a decor-friendly way to keep cables in place.

Belkin is making the Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 available worldwide today on both its official site and over at Amazon. 

Rockstar got hacked again, in case you missed it, and the culprits are demanding it pays up by tomorrow or they will leak GTA 6 all over the interwebs. Or something, or not at all, because Rockstar has now released a statement saying the hackers didn’t actually steal anything of value (by the sounds of it). 

Just after inking the date and time for its giant annual summer Games Showcase, Xbox Wire has just confirmed we will be getting our first good look at the new Metro 2039 this week.

The 2026 Nintendo leaks just keep coming. While not nearly as high-profile as the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake or even the rumored upcoming Star Fox game, it looks like Switch 2 will be getting some Marvel superhero action soon too. 

We do our absolute best around to uncover the most notable discounts on the most sought-after gear on the internet. This often times amounts to fast-action content to ensure folks get as much time as possible to actually the score the deal before it’s gone or out of stock, but sometimes we get a heads up on an upcoming deal, and that’s exactly what we have here today. The latest AirPods Pro 3 are set to return to holiday deal pricing this weekend. 

Today’s lineup of the best Apple TV deals is now ready to roll, including titles like Alien 2-Movie Collection, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Old, Dunkirk, Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Series, Sons of Anarchy: The Complete Series, and more. We also have all 15-inch M5 MacBook Air models at all-time lows ($150 off), deals on Nomad’s new Camino leather iPhone 17 Pro cases, and Apple Watch Series 11 at nearly $100 off.

The impressive new triple fold Galaxy device is scheduled to go live at 10:00 a.m. ET this morning and you better be ready to go as it will almost certainly sell out very fast once again. 

While its official spring sale has ended, the deals are still flying over at Target this week and we now have an early look at the offers set to go live this weekend. Including everything from spring cleaning gear through to apparel and tech, Target is advertising Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 back at holiday pricing as well.

Reports confirm a new ‘Metal Gear Solid’ movie in the works. After the high-profile and generally well-received Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake (MGS Delta) released last summer, Snake appears to be heading to silver screen.  

Nomad has long been one of our favorites in the leather Apple gear accessory game. It makes some of the nicest iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands (among other things) in the business and it has just announced its new Camino leather lineup. 

As part of the new My Mario toy and collectible lineup, Nintendo unleashed a FREE Hello, Mario! App on iOS, Android, and the eShop earlier this year, and now the new Hello, Yoshi! edition is live. 

While we are still waiting to see what Nintendo has next for the Switch 2 Game Cube library, the April 2026 NES Nintendo Classics updates and the companion trailer have arrived. And these ones didn’t leak ahead of time, like everything else Nintendo has on is release schedule this year.

Home Depot is launching a major Spring Black Friday sale this week. Now set to go live in a couple day’s time, the lawn, tool, and DIY retailer will launch one of its one of its biggest seasonal sale events of the year and we have an early look at loads of the upcoming deals for you below.

James Bond’s next outing on home consoles is quickly approaching if you have a PS5 or Xbox anyway – the Switch 2 version has been delayed until later this summer. We are, however, getting our first look at the new 007 First Light Limited Edition DualSense Wireless Controller. 

When is the next major Switch 2 game announcement going to be? Well, apparently very soon. Rumors and relatively reliable leakers have been divulging Nintendo’s 2026 release plans for a few weeks now, but it looks like what might very possibly be the most reliable of them all has just doubled down saying the first of these big announcements will happen this month. 

SANDMARC is back at it again today with a new release. The brand is easily among our favorite accessory makers when it comes to the sorts of gear that supports creators and iPhoneographers, not to mention its gorgeous Apple Watch bands and iPhone cases. But today it is introducing the all-new Capture Leather Wallet to neatly stow SD cards and everything else you would normally have in there. You can also use our exclusive 9TO510 discount code at checkout to secure a deal on your pre-order. 

Yesterday was your last shot to claim the March PlayStation Plus FREE games (as we reminded folks about), but that also means today is the day the latest slate of Monthly FREE games will go live. April’s collection for PS Plus Essential members is, or will be, live at any time now. Scope out the details below. 

Satechi is the maker of one of my personal favorite MagSafe charging stands – this metal 3-in-1 model right here, but today it is finally ready to jump into the next-generation with a brand new 25W unit and an upgraded design. 

Nintendo has a serious leak problem right now, as we have already discussed. It seems as though just about all of its major 2026 releases have already surfaced online, leaving very little to the imagination when it comes to the upcoming summer and holiday Switch 2 release schedule. There are couple of other titles that have been mentioned among the leaks and, while they don’t come from sources quite as reliable as some of the others, if they do end up coming to fruition we could be in for a new Wario Land game and a potential new classic Metroid remake this year. 

Nintendo has now officially announced a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle. I guess not everything it had planned to announce this year already leaked (but a whole bunch of it seems like it has).
